- US stocks open higher
- House passed a $1 trillion infrastructure bill
- Tesla (TSLA.US) stock under pressure following Musk tweets
Major US indices launched today's session higher, extending last week's rally after Congress approved a more than $1 trillion infrastructure spending package on Friday sending the legislation to President Joe Biden for his signature. The package would provide new funding for transportation, utilities and broadband, among other infrastructure projects. This week market attention will focus on the producer price index and consumer price index readings which will be released on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. Traders will look for an update on how price pressures are weighing on the economy, following upbeat NFP data.
US100 hit a new all-time high last week and is currently testing the upper limit of the ascending channel. Should break higher occur, upward move may accelerate towards 161.8% Fibonacci external retracement of the last downward wave. On the other hand, if sellers manage to halt advances here, then another downward impulse towards major support at 15,750 pts may be launched. Source: xStation5
